WESTPORT — A 52-year-old Westport man turned himself in to Westport police on an active arrest warrant on Friday, according to a press release.

Daniel Krulewitch has been charged with possession of child pornography in the first degree, enticing a minor and risk of injury to a child, the press release said.

In March 2016, Westport police received a tip from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children that a residence in Westport uploaded child pornography.

This tip incited an investigation that led police to Krulewitch.

Police served a warrant to Krulewitch in April 2016. They searched his electronic devices and found over 50 images of child pornography, according to the press release.

The press release said police also located an instant messenger software application that showed conversations between Krulewitch and underage persons and included nude images of underage persons in sexually explicit positions.

Krulewitch was released after posting a $100,000 bond. He is scheduled to appear in Norwalk Superior Court later this month.
